Vertical Bone Augmentation Using a Tunnel Approach Step by Step - Part 2 of 2

Description:Bone atrophies are one of the most challenging situations in modern implantology. Several techniques have been proposed to be able to place implants in those atrophic situations. This first presentation will show step by step the Split Bone block technique as described by Dr. Khoury to perform horizontal bone augmentation procedures. Bone biology is also explain in order to understand why this technique offer us some great advantages. The second presentation will focus of vertical bone augmentation procedures using this same technique but through a tunnel approach. The advantages of this approach will also be described in this presentation.

Hi David! Piezo devices can also be used for harvesting the bone block without any doubt. Microsaw is faster, but if you feel more comfortable with piezo go for it! Be sure you have some very thin inserts to split the bone block. Thanks for watching the presentation.

Do you have an option as to whether or not a piezosuegery would be possible to harvest and split the bone block?

Thank you for your kind words Maurice! We hope all DentalXp community enjoy it aswell!

Hi Mikhaik, thank you so much for your kind words. Screw length depends On the size of the defect. Bucal screws are normally between 6-8mm and Creatal ones normally between 9-12mm
We have to keep in mind that 1-1.5mm will be in the “Bone Membrane”, then 7-8mm of vertical Gain and then at least 3mm inside the remanent bone.
Hope to have answer your question!
See you soon!

Thank you so much for your kind words, we really appreciate them! We hope that all our friends in DentaXp also find presentations interesting! See you soon Master!

CBCT as an Interdisciplinary Diagnostic and Treatment Planning ToolThe era of in-office Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has unequivocally transformed interdisciplinary dentofacial therapy (IDT). While in-office CBCT imaging may be the latest technological breakthrough enhancing opportunities for treatment planning, it is diagnosis that has remained the constant variable critical for predictable patient outcomes.

Advances in Hard and Soft Tissue Management Using 3D Printing TechnologyIt is becoming rare today to come across simple cases in Periodontics; our specialty has come to face complex cases where hard and soft tissue deficiencies are quite common. These suggested protocols and schematic approaches were developed to help the surgical practitioner visualize and divide the problem into a predictable step-by-step workflow. The utilization of 3-D printed CBCT studies of the treatment planned surgical sites was shown to be integral in patient care and clinical outcomes. Every step is dictated by biology; all incision designs, flap management techniques, and biomaterials used have been selected to maximize the blood supply in the area and minimize trauma to the vascular network that nourishes our surgical site.

Titanium Mesh and rhBMP-2 in Ridge Augmentation: Options and LimitationsTitanium mesh has been used in reconstructive surgery and ridge augmentation for several years. The traditional technique involves using cancellous autogenous bone under the mesh scaffold. More recently growth factors and bone substitutes have been utilized as autograft replacements. There are several advantages to using titanium mesh for space maintenance including strength, ease of use, low cost and biocompatibility. However, the difficulty in removing the mesh has led to a search for other space maintenance scaffolds including tenting screws, dense preshaped collagen and porous high-density polyethylene. This webinar will discuss the use of rhBMP-2 for managing horizontal and vertical bone deficiencies with various scaffolds.

Achieving Stable Esthetic Results with Implant Supported RestorationsWe will discuss basic concept regarding immediate implant placement and guided bone regeneration procedure related to the esthetic zone before focusing on the soft tissue management. We will describe the prosthetic procedures which are performed before, during and after the surgical procedures. Provisional restorations, impression techniques, prosthetic profiles and restorative materials will be presented. The purpose of the presentation is to provide a check list that will guide the clinician developing a proper analysis and diagnosis for the successful esthetic result with implant supported restoration.
